Navy operations, Latest In Series The U.S. note, delivered to the Soviet embassy yesterday and made public by the State depart ment today, is the latest in a series of angry cold war exchanges over alleged nautical harassments. The Russians have been accusing Americans of buzzing their ships. The United States complained in a note Feb. 24 that Soviet craft had interferred with U.S.

carrier operations in September and January. Today's U.S. protest charged that: 1--On Jan. 7 the Soviet ship "Vertikal," with a lookout on her bow using binoculars, steamed to within 75 feet of the rear of the U.S. ship "Dutton." The American naval vessel was in the eastern Atlantic towing a magnetometer cable.

Despite the Dutton's warning flags and signals showing it had a tow astern, the note said, the Russian craft shredded the cable then played two lights on the Dutton's rear while the ship tried to retrieve the broken cable. "In view of these actions, it must be concluded that 'Vertikal' intended deliberately to interfere with and to harass the 'Dutton' during the course of a legitimate survey operation on the high seas and did in fact damage the 'Dutton's' tow cable and sever and cause the ship to lose her magnetometer." 2--On Feb. 16 the Soviet ship "Zond" six times crossed close ahead of the U.S. Navy submarine "Lafayette" about 35 miles off Cadiz, Spain. "This caused serious risk of collision in flagrant violation of the rules of the road and in complete disregard of good seamanship practices." 3--On Feb.

The love apparently was a protesl gainst next week's scheduled ession of (he West German Parliament in West Berlin. West German customs officials reported it took autoists more than three hours to pass communist checkpoints at the Western and Eastern ends of the 110- mile autobahn that connects West Berlin with West Germany.

By last midnight, the line of vehicles waiting to enter the superhighway at the Helmstedt checkpoint was more than three miles long. It included more than 200 Berlin bound trucks. The slowdown did not affect Allied military traffic which is checked through by the Soviets. Only air travelers are not subject to communist controls. To Stage Maneuvers East Germany announced last night that Soviet and East German troops will stage large- scale maneuvers west'of Berlin starting Monday and lasting all week.

This led to speculation that the exercise'was purposely set to coincide with the parliamentary meeting.

Neal achieved prominence in films of the 1940s, but that ended in 1951, when he had a fistligh with actor Franchot Tone over the affections of blonde actress Barbara Payton, who was once engaged to each man. Tone Lost Fight Tone lost the fight, suffering a broken nose and facial damage. But he later married Miss Payton, divorced her after seven iveeks and went on with his career. Neal, after the fight with Tone, couldn't get film work. Once he was reported working at a park- ng lot.

But he later started his own landscaping business and was said by friends to be building a successful new life. Neal, who said he had been an amateur boxer and an athlete at Northwestern university, appeared in he-man roles in many films, including "Behind the Ris- ng Sun," "Another Thin Man," 'The Flying Tigers," "The Un- inows" and "First Yank into Tokyo." His first wife, actress Vicky Lane, divorced him in 1849. His second wife, Patricia, died of cancer in 1958. He married the former Gail Evalt four years ago at Las Vegas, Nev.

(AP) Many of Alabama's leading businessmen and legislators believe Dr. Martin Luther King's economic boycott of this state will only hurt racial relations. "If the boycott should be successful it can serve no other purpose than to worsen race rela tions in the slate," said Crawfori Johnson III, a soft drink execu five and president of the Birming ham Chamber of Commerce.

"Fortunately, I don't think Dr King will be successful," he said, declining to elaborate on his last statement. King announced the three-stage joycott yesterday in Baltimore. The first stage of the boycott, which he said would start immediately, asked for any industry or national business concern considering building plants in Ala- jama "to immediately suspend their plans for such expansion." Deal with Funds The second stage would deal with private investment funds in Alabama and federal deposits in Alabama banks, King said, while he third stage would specifically single out items produced in the state which King feels the na- ion should boycott. The boycott brought angry re- jlies from Alabama legislators. "The white folks, if they so desire, can boycott, too," said Rep.

John Lewis Gates of Shelby county, accusing King of being "power mad now." "We can fail to do business with those who are engaged in romoting the Negro campaign," ie said. can't see how with that type of rash thinking, the Negro people of Alabama can believe that King is helping their cause," said Sen. immy McDow of Shelby county.

Navy aircraft today as the American planes blasted out a vital bridge link in North Viet Nam's major north-south coastal rail and road route only 65 miles south of Hanoi, the Red capital. It marked the first time American aircraft have-encountered communist planes in the Vietnamese war.

Navy Planes Chas MIGs Navy planes chased the MIGs but the communist planes slipped away in the haze, Navy spokesman Capt. George H. Whistler said. He did not believe the American planes got close enough to fire during the pursuit. Whistler did not say what model of the Soviet-built MIG was involved, or what national markings they bore.

But North Viet Nam is known to have some old MIG15 and MIG17 aircraft. They are not believed to possess any of the. sophisticated MIG21s. Appear on Scene Whistler said the Red jets appeared on the scene and made a pass on one U.S. aircraft.

He said he did not know if the MIGs fired but he assumed they did and had missed the Navy a Apparently the Navy planes did not score any hits either.
